Just got one of those DVD's from Wh Smith Cyberhome 400 and replaced the old DVD with it.

The problem I have is that when there is a widescreen picture or one with black bars top and bottom and also there is a bright picture at the top near the black bar this causes it to bend to one side and even roll the picture!! Why's this? Dodgy DVD? Try a different scart? (why didn't it do it before with same cable?) Dodgy tv? (why did the last one work ok?)

Just a thought, but has your new DVD player got a settings option to toggle between 16:9 and 4:3. If so, have you tried each setting. Might be "teaching your grandmother to suck eggs" here, but it's the only thing that comes to my mind.

Glad it's sorted. The connections can be a bit of a headache sometimes. Just fitted a Panny DMR E50 DVD recorder into my somewhat complex AV set up. Recorded CSI on Chan 5 via the Sky box last night. Played it back earlier this eve. No video, just sound. After much head scratching, it turns out that I was trying to output an RGB signal into the one composite only Scart on my TV (the other 2 are RGB enabled but are used with other kit). Oh well at least it got me thinking (and cussing). Cheers
